Leading fine jewelry and bridal brand Gabriel & Co. is marking a decade of collaboration with DKMS, the international nonprofit focused on combating blood cancer and blood disorders. To highlight 10 years of joint efforts and ongoing dedication, Gabriel & Co. is uniting its staff and wider community via multiple initiatives supporting DKMS, such as an on-site donor drive, a public digital donor drive, the debut of a fresh DKMS jewelry line, and involvement in the yearly DKMS Gala on October 15.

"Supporting others has long been central to our company values, and our work with DKMS stands out as one of the most rewarding aspects of that path," said Dominick Gabriel, Gabriel & Co. co-founder. "A decade ago, we started this alliance with the idea that we could leverage our reach to create real change. Now, we are pleased to sustain that pledge by inviting our team, clients and community to discover more, participate and potentially save a life."

As part of the milestone observance, Gabriel & Co. organized a staff-only donor drive at its headquarters on Tuesday, October 13, allowing team members to sign up with DKMS and become part of the worldwide network of potential blood stem cell donors.

The firm also introduced a digital donor drive to extend access past the Gabriel & Co. staff. Supporters may enroll via the special online connection and obtain a cheek swab kit delivered by mail for at-home completion. This effort aims to simplify donor enrollment for the Gabriel & Co. network and others.

For numerous individuals facing blood cancer or related disorders, a blood stem cell transplant from a non-family donor can serve as a vital therapy. Since patients frequently rely on locating a match beyond relatives, broadening the donor pool can improve the odds of finding suitable matches.

"DKMS will forever occupy a unique spot in my heart as I understand personally what it takes to seek a match. Upon my diagnosis, locating a donor represented survival and optimism for my loved ones and me. I will always recall how my family, our firm and DKMS united during that challenging period. Ten years on, I am deeply gratified that an initial personal experience has developed into a sustained dedication to aiding other families discover hope," said Christine Gabriel, Gabriel Love Foundation representative and wife of Gabriel & Co. co-founder Dominick Gabriel.

The alliance between Gabriel & Co. and DKMS embodies the firm's enduring dedication to giving through the Gabriel Love Foundation, launched in 2016 to back initiatives that positively affect lives.

The company also took part with DKMS supporters at the DKMS Gala on October 15, recognizing the group's achievements and saluting the shared work of people and entities in the battle against blood cancer. The formal event generated over $2.3 million in vital support for DKMS's worldwide lifesaving programs.

"Observing the 20th anniversary of our New York gala underscored the reach of kindness in preserving lives," said Katharina Harf, Global Chairman of DKMS. "I am truly thankful to the community that has supported us for twenty years, converting hope into renewed opportunities for life. United, we will persist in striving for a time when every patient, in any location, can access the essential treatment required."

To commemorate the 10-year partnership, Gabriel & Co. is also releasing a new DKMS jewelry collection, extending the firm's practice of employing jewelry to build awareness and aid for key causes. The line continues Gabriel & Co.'s record of designing pieces tied to the Gabriel Love Foundation and its charitable work.
